Ability to Edit Data in Operations Dashboard

JordanRogers — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 19:26:01 GMT

I was just wondering if there has been any consideration given to adding an option to allow the ability to edit data within Operations Dashboard?

I am looking at setting up an Operations Dashboard for a Supervisor to monitor field edits from Collector. Ideally, I would like to give the Supervisor the ability to edit some of the attributes in Operations Dashboard rather than using it to monitor field operations and opening a separate web map to edit.

For example: if something is flagged as 'Needs Attention' by staff in the field, this would pop up in an Opeartions Dashboard query. The Supervisor would then have the ability to assign a 'Work Order ID' and later change the attribute to 'Resolved'.

this would be very useful, we would like to use Ops Dashboard as a running order for an update call with our management team and having the ability to add updates to the jobs as they go along would be really helpful

I know that the idea of a dashboard is mostly about the data insights... but in some cases, the interactive actions in Ops Dashboard would actually make it a very powerful platform for editing workflows!

Agree with Alix here. In my case, hypothetical 'what-ifs' for our admin team could be investigated in real time from the dashboard in order to instantly identify macro level statistical movements.

The edit option would be fantastic as most of my colleagues don't know how to use GIS software so the easy looking interface would be more appealing for them to use.

Hie Jordan,

Waiting for this ability too. Have created a list in my dash with a url targeting a webappbuilder app with editing ability i use url parameter to zoom to the "to update" feature .

Hope it will help you.

Given all the updates to Ops Dashboard, is this still not possible? I don't see anything in the menus, but want to double check.

Bump. I'm surprised this has taken so long to implement?

We also use Ops Dashboard for issue tracking. When an issue is actioned, we need to edit some attributes to mark it as resolved - at which point it will no longer meet the filter requirements and will be removed from the Dashboard. Currently this is a two-step process because we can't edit in the Dashboard. Very frustrating for our (non GIS) users who want this process to be as simple as possible. They have a very low tolerance for the current workaround. Adding the ability to edit attributes in Operations Dashboard would be a huge improvement.

Is there any activity within Esri relating to editing in Operations Dashboard?

Technically you can do this as it stands by embedding a web app such as:

Web AppBuilder with an Edit widget along with a URL parameter - this will zoom to the specific feature after which the user can edit via the popup
Survey123 via editable web forms - this will open the associated pre-populated web form which the user can update as appropriate

Thanks Michael! How exactly does someone go about doing this for the 1st bulleted item you have above? That is very intriguing to me.

I actually got it figured out. Thank you for the tip!

Hi Jarom,

Just in case it's not clear - you pass in a unique identifier as the 'find' parameter and configure the Search widget or Web Map to use this against a specific layer field.

Note for Survey123 you must have a form configured against the Feature Layer and pass the ObjectID - see this documentation and this blog for more details.

I had some trouble configuring the URL properly, and noticed the documentation is missing the itemID structure. Rather than adding ?find, it should be &find after the itemID. In case anyone comes upon this thread in the future:

http://<your portal url>/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=<itemID>&find=380 new york street, redlands, ca‍‍

Actually a little help is needed - is it possible to show the pop-up in edit mode? Right now, "find" opens a "callout marker" (without ability to edit) as opposed to the editor pop-up. It's an issue because these are a series of stacked points. Michael Kelly Jarom Hlebasko

Dante Lee‌, A workaround that our team has come up with is to add the smart editor widget into the WAB app and configure it for the layer(s) of interest that need to be edited. What's nice about this widget is the ability to declare which fields can be viewed/editable.

If you use the query function for the URL scheme, it will zoom to the feature and open the popup. If you click on the options button of the pop-up in the bottom right hand corner, there is a smart editor options. This opens up the smart editor widget for said feature.

Michael,

How do I pass the objectID from the dashboard into the Survey123 URL?

Re: Ability to Edit Data in Operations Dashboard

DanteLee — Thu, 15 Aug 2019 14:30:02 GMT

We did end up using the Smart Editor widget instead. But ooh, that distinction between the query function vs. find really makes a difference. That does help! Do you know if there's a way to directly open the Smart Editor without having to click on the options button?

Andrew - check out this post (Survey123 Tricks of the Trade). It's covered in the section "Embedding an edit web form within Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS"

Thank you Dante. I was able to figure it out after a little bit of tinkering. However I am now running into an issue where dateTime questions are being converted to AM time by default. For example:
